Ledger of date the 18th from Miss
Rebecca Cameron, of Hillsboro. is a
graceful defence from an accomplish
ed hand. Her womanly devotion to
honor and merit is most admirably
displayed therein and her able and
womanly tribute to Captain Randolph
A. Shotwell should bring the blush to
the face Of the cowardly assailants of
his bright and Interchangeable reputa-
ton. We read it with pleasure both
because of its defence of the innocent
dead and because it exhibits wom-
anly character as brave as it is lovely
and Christian. Upon reflection, for
the benefit of our readers, we print
the card in full.

Fifth Avenue Girls Who Practice In
Private Gymnasiums.

Fifth Avenue Girls Who Practice In
Private Gymnasiums:
The young women of the present gen
Grafton that one meets on Fifth avenue
and upper Broadway are as rosy, healthy
and as symmetrically developed as Eng
lish girls, although they still retain their
clear cut beauty of features and slender
hands and feet. The reason of this per-
feet physical development is traced to the
private gymnaSiums in the city, where
almost every branch of athletics is
taught. And for the past fifteen years
these gymnasiums have increased IN
number. Every private school of any
prominence has one, and in many homes
of wealthy residents a room on the top
floor is fitted up with spring board, hOr1-
zontal bars, pulleys, weights and other
athletic furniture, and here the daugh-
tiers of the house spend many hours.
1.-THE majority of ladies attend gymna-
Sums more for the object of attaining
perfect physical development than to be-
come experts in any athletic exercise,
said leader of fashion in speaking of the
matter ''You know" she continued,
THAT a society woman needs good figure
TO appear to advantage at entertainments,
and she has found that a regular course
of gymnastics will do more to make her
arms round, her neck graceful and her
carriage stately than any course Of dane
ing lessons"
Many mothers prefer to train their
daughters at home, and most of the bellies
of a season go through regular drill for
years before their debut One lady Hv-
ing on Madison avenue has her three
daughters come to ner every morning at
10 o'clock. They wear regular gymnasium
suits of dark blue flannel, consisting OF
blouse and skirt and Turkish trousers of
flannel, shoes without heels and short
sleeves
Each girl takes q corner of the room,
her face turned toward it, her heels placed
together and her hands fat on either
side of the wall just even with her shout
ders Then, as the mother counts, they
bend forward, the shoulders going be-
yond the hands, which are kept firm, and
bracing them backward The feet are
kept in the first position. After the body
has been swayed to and fro a hundred
times the maidens are permitted to rest.
They are as erect as if drilled in the regu-
lar army, and this is due to the old fash
toned exercise.
The next exercise, also one employed
by our grandmothers, is carrying a pail
of water on the head and one in either
hand across the room without splitting a
drop. This gives a graceful poise to the
head and shoulders which is noticeable In
the lower orders of Italian women who
are Obliged TO carry in this way. These
three girls can all accomplish the difficult
feat, but it has taken them years to learn
